I don't know how old you are, but if you're 16 or 17, I think that's close enough to see the adult pdoc. I have a 17 yr old son, there are certain instances where they require he talk to people, like I can't do it all for him anymore. One hospital would not release his records to his therapist with my signature, they needed his signature. Another hospital said that was bullcrap, so I really don't know. But try to go to the appointment, it's just an appointment. You can then decide what to do next from there, even get a second opinion if you don't agree with this one. I think it's good to get information and education about options. Good luck with it.
